Dear Colleagues,

Machine learning and artificial intelligence are the next steps forward in making the world safer, better, and more sustainable. To this end, intelligent learners are being used to create optimal designs of decision and control systems that can extract the maximum efficiency from embedded sensor arrays to trigger warnings or shutdowns in addition to automated maintenance and failure analyses. At its crux, machine learning relies on having relevant input data, as well as their processing and fusion, to learn how to map into the desired outputs using numerical models. More often than not these inputs are signals from sensors or observations coming from their analyses, which entail some preprocessing of the observed data. Thus, signal processing plays an important role in many machine learning and decision making applications, and their combined analyses are of great importance to researchers. Therefore, the research topic of machine learning would also include several associated tasks, such as the following: 1) signal processing of multiple sensor data; 2) fusion of the resulting information; and 3) decision making based on the fused information.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sci is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1200 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
